A 28 mile "Virtual Fence" .... will do what? Keep out "Virtual Mexicans"?

[Stinky The Clown]

28 miles of high tech virtual fence. Radar, sonar, listening devices, Geiger counters, coat hangers bent in fancy shapes, dish antennae, and who know what else. Probably at a cost of Billions and Billions.

To do what, exactly?

Think about it ..... 28 miles. In the worst case that's an inconvenience of 14 miles.

Yet, according to an in depth report by a sharp reporter for Telemundo, there are one tenth the number agents and twice the border to the north. And to make it even worse, there are a number of spots (the reporter visited the one in Minnesota) where the border is unguarded except for - **get THIS** - an unmanned DHS guard shack 8 miles INSIDE the US where border crossers are told, by signage, to go into the shack and dial up an agent on the video phone located inside.

Whaaaaat?

And we're building a fence on the southern border.

Just how fucked are we?

Really.

(I'm sorry. I don't have a link to the Telemundo story. I heard the reporter on MSNBC.)

1. Cost Us A Bunch Of Money

Maybe provide a few jobs. Otherwise, useless.

2. Someone posted the other day that even if they build a REAL fence

parts of it will only be 5 feet tall.

Like that's gonna stop anyone.

3. Let them keep looking there...

The weed I buy comes in across the bridge to Detroit!

[monmouth]

4. The fence going up on the Texas border will bypass Mr. Hunt's

property and a golf course...lol. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so stupid.

8. Just wait till Hunt and the country club demand INS agents to patrol it.

You read it here first...

5. Why, I'm going to send in my virtual tax dollar

and ask that it be applied to the virtual fence. That'll show 'em. Virtually.

6. It virtually will. What, that's not good enough for you?

You expect a politically-motivated, pork-barrel, feel-good, bullshit Government project to actually (as opposed to virtually) WORK?

That's not the way we DO things in this country, Mister. Keep posting doubts like that, and you'll get on The List.

7. I've been to that spot in north Minnesota, called the 'northwest angle'

we never did figure out just exactly where the border was...:shrug:
